Seeds of Kindness Spring Craft and Writing Activity

Teach children how to be intentional about being kind to others through this Seeds of Kindness Spring Craftivity. This kindness project provides an opportunity for students to identify acts of kindness they can do in their classroom, for their families, and for strangers. This writing activity also makes a great spring bulletin board or Open House craft!

What does it mean to be intentional? How can we show intentionality in our lives in reference to how to treat other people? One of the main terms in this resource is the concept of intentionality. Through a guided lesson, teachers and students explore how students can actively participate in acts of kindness toward a variety of people in their lives.

What is Included in the Seeds of Kindness Spring Craft

This kindness spring craft includes teacher notes and a list of student-friendly acts of kindness.  There is a brainstorming page where students can list acts of kindness they are willing to do for their classmates, their families, and their communities. After the activity, students have an opportunity to reflect on why intentionality is important.

Seeds of Kindness Spring Craft Reflection Tool

How do you feel when people are kind to you?  How do you feel when you show acts of kindness? If someone doesn’t notice the act of kindness, should you stop being kind?

These are just some of the questions on the seeds of kindness reflection tool.  Throughout the project, students learn about the concept of intentionality, but they also come to understand that all acts of kindness are not reciprocated.

The questions on the seeds of kindness reflection can be discussed as a whole group as well as in writing.  Also included is space for students to tell a story of a time they intentionally did something for someone else.

During the suggested 4-day lesson, students choose three acts of kindness and write them down on the seeds.  Each seed is one act of kindness students are willing to do over the period of time specified by the teacher or class.
